| THE NEW BOAT FOR Til E CHATTA
HOOCHEE RIVER.
We were glad to receive a call yesterday
from Oapt. T. H. Moore, master of the now
boat, *‘G. GuNinr Jordan,’’ which will
soon be on our river ‘walking the water
Uke a thing of llfo.’ Capt. Moore reports rap
Id work In bur progress towaids comple
tion. Sho will leave Louisville, sy., where
she is being built, about the 10th of June,
and will arrive at this port about the Ist
of July. She will be a beauty, as rivet- men
will see by the following dimensions:
Length—l2s feet, across beam 25; full
cabin with Texas. Two-Inch boilers, 16
feet long, 38 inchas diameter; cylinder
10% Inches diameter and 4 feet stroke.
Bhe Is guaranteed to run light, on 16
laches of water. Her freight capacity
will bo 500 bales of cotton, or ship
measurement 160 tons.
The arrival of this splendid little craft*
will be looked for by our business mop
with much interest, for she Is designed to
serve bur merchants and warehouse men
at this end as well as the planters and
shippers on the lower river. We predlot
for her the position of the “passengers
favorite" on the river; for which her ele
gant cabin accommodations and courte
ous Captain and obliging Clerk (Mack
Sparks wo hope,) all river travelers prill
want to wait for the “Jordan.”
We feel no doubt of the success of this
enterprise; it deserves it to start with,
and then it Is in the hands of those who
will work to accomplish It. And the fact
that the stockholders had tbo fate of
other ventures of this soft before their
eyes, and were not discouraged by thorn,
It looks as If they had discovered a “Here
thing,” even In euch misty surroundings.
Then here’s to tho new boat-the "G.Gunby
Jordan”—may she never “go up” or "go
down,” except with safety to all on board,
and profit to her owners.
The Weather.
We dislike to disturb tho quiet of this
venerable subject, but really we feel
obliged to do so, for it has disturbed us,
and everybody connected with us, so un
feelingly for a few days past, that we
must mark it with the broad mark of our
unqualiiled disapprobation. It Is hard to
conceive of a “spell" more disagreeable,
unseasonable, and unreasonable than the
one now on us. Rainy, blowy, chilly, East
windy, and a little mixed with a few
sleet-covered rays of April sunshine—all
twisted up and mingled together, and then
blown apart and scattered in almost freez
ing fragments all over everybody, in
the house and out. How can we lot the
weather alone! It won’t be let alono—for
it Is rushing around like the fallow hunt
ing trouble by making Somebody step on
his coat-tail. Wb will try to ease along,
however, for a few days longor, and
depend upon a change when old 80l puts
his shine on in earnest.

Colmbus, Ga., April 2, 1877.
Cold In Tallapoosa County, Alabama.
From the Opelika Observer, one of
whose editors has just returned from a
visit to Tallapoosa county, we clip the
following, It revives recollections of the
"Long ago:”
“Tallapoosa Is rich In minerals of vari
ous kinds. A few miles south of Cowpens,
commences the great
GOLD BELT
which at Cowpens, is übout eight miles
wide. We visited tho old gold mine of
Log Pit, wldch some years ago wa aban
doned by the Log Pit Company, on ao
oount of ignorance and inability to man
age such a business. Wo examined sever
al specimens of tho Log Pit oro, saw them
Spanned out” and found them exceeding
ly rich. Surface mining, with tho im
proved gold-saving machinery of to-day
could also be carried on witii prollt, us
almost any of the soil within an area of
five or six acres around the main shaft of
the mine, will ‘pan’ gold.”
The locality named in the above extract
Is the richest gold region in Alabama; and
it Is doubtful whether there Is In all the
gold sections of Georgia or North Caroll-
Uaany point that would pay systematic
and Intelligent mining better than “Log
Pit” would. This mine was opened by u
Company In about 1815, who worked It In
a rude way with negro labor, until they
got to a point so deep—forty feet or about
—that they could not keep the water out;
and the stockholders being neighboring
farmers, not wishing to invest money In
steam-pumping and other expensive ma
chinery, discontinued work. The be6t in
formation is that this company realized
over $40,000 in gold, clear profit—or what
was in that day the same thing as re
turns for the labor of their negroes. After
an interval of about ten yeurs this first
company sold tiie mine to another com
pany ; but all the members of this last
oompany were unacquainted with both
mining and gold saving, and had nothing
but their energy and the mining skill of
the natives to rely on for success. Much
money was Injudiciously spent In sinking
shafts, buying useless machinery,
hiring worthless labor and in
making costly experiments, until at tho
end of about two years, a depth of some
ninety feet was reached, below which
point it was found Impracticable to go
without incurring still further heavy out
lay in getting larger steam power and
pumps.of greater capacity. When those
questions came up, a division of opinion
arose among the members of the com
pany, and a* they could not ag rente make
further Investments of the sort named, It
was determined to discontinue tho work,
which was done in 1858. Athough the
Writer was at one time familiar with the
work of the Company, he does not now
remember the amount of gold it realized
by this mining enterprise; he can say
however, that tho aggregate was large;
and notwithstanding the want of skill in
every department of the works, and the
rudeness of all the gold saving contrivan
ces used, the “cleaning up” as tbo
gathering togethef* of the ‘'amalgam”
from the different separators, was called,
sometimes showed over a thousand pen
nyweights of retorted gold per week. But
in view of tho outlay already made, and
the realization of tho absolute necessity
for an intelligent, practical, if not scien
tific minor, and the large outlay now
found to be necessary, It was concluded
to stop the works, as we have said.
Since tho cessation of organized mining
parties have, in a private way, ro-washed
much of the old sand—once worked—and
obtained from it a larger yield of gold than
was obtained when it was first run
through the mill; anil it is a strong con
viction of many who aro acquainted with
modern modes of mining and gold saving,
that this abandoned Log Pit Mine would
pay for the working better than any mine
this side of California.
